ORDER GRANTING IN PART MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Petitioner moves for a temporary restraining order (TRO) granting his immediate release from immigration detention 2 . The motion is granted in part. Petitioner fails to demonstrate a likelihood of success or raise a serious question on the merits of his claims. Given the government's nonopposition to providing a more limited procedural remedy, however, the Court orders as follows: Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge within seven days to determine whether he presents a flight risk or danger to the community. The motion is otherwise denied. Respondents shall serve this order on Petitioner. The Court will treat Respondents' opposition to the TRO application as a response to the merits of the petition. If Petitioner wishes to file a reply to the petition, he shall do so by no later than April 13. In any reply, he should address why the petition should not be dismissed as moot. The failure to timely file a reply will be construed as consent to dismissal. (gk) (Entered: 04/03/2026)
